Yes I am using standard/ outlookexpress not grid.

I have tried the NodeTextColumn and I am only able to change the display field for the root node. I can't find reference to the childnode.

I did notice that the ColumnSetGenerated gets fired twice. Once for the Primary table and a second time for the relationship table (which is identical in schema to the primary table).

My temporary workaround just now is to change the ordinal position of the column in my datatable before passing it to the list. but this is not ideal and presents a management issue.

this is the line I use for the parent node in ColumnSetGenerated;

e.ColumnSet.NodeTextColumn = e.ColumnSet.Columns("Industry")

This is the routine I use for the 2 call but the childnode still will not display GroupName

'Root Node

       If e.ColumnSet.Key = "tblIndustry" Then

            e.ColumnSet.NodeTextColumn = e.ColumnSet.Columns("Industry")

        End If

'Child Node

        If e.ColumnSet.Key = "Group" Then

            e.ColumnSet.NodeTextColumn = e.ColumnSet.Columns("GroupName")

        End If

Hi,

Is there any way you could post a small sample project demonstrating this? There are so many variables here that it's very hard to guess why it's not working. The code you have posted here appears correct to me.

The data for the project is in MS SQL and we have a class library that retrieves the data and returns the table. Creating a sample project to post will take me a considerable amount of time which is not practical at this time. I have resorted to using a different tree component.  

I will however revisit this when time constraints are not a problem.  As you noted from my code, I am telling it to use a field but it is using a different field. As you said, in Gridview I can see all the fields and I know they are there. but in Outlook express or Standard view, it will only show the second column. No matter what column I tell it.

i am not able to see your attached zip file. can you help me how to get the same?

Thanks

You are the man. Thanks a lot. So much easier when you know how.

Hi,

Okay, I see the issue now. I was under the impression that you are showing stand-style nodes, but that's not the case. So the NodeTextColumn will do nothing here.

You are using OutlookExpress ViewStyle and just hiding all but one column. So what you have to do in a case like this where you are using OutlookExpress style and you have different ColumnSets for each band, is map the child column to the parent column you want. You do this using the MapToColumn property on the column.

#Region " ColumnSet Generated "
    Private Sub ultraTree1_ColumnSetGenerated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinTree.ColumnSetGeneratedEventArgs) Handles UltraTree1.ColumnSetGenerated

        Dim tree As UltraTree = CType(sender, UltraTree)

        If e.ColumnSet.Key = "Project" Then
            'e.ColumnSet.NodeTextColumn = e.ColumnSet.Columns("TaskName")
            e.ColumnSet.Columns("TaskName").MapToColumn = "ProjectName"

        End If

        If e.ColumnSet.Key = "Projects" Then
            For Each _col As UltraWinTree.UltraTreeNodeColumn In e.ColumnSet.Columns
                _col.Visible = False
            Next

            e.ColumnSet.Columns("Project").Visible = True
            e.ColumnSet.Columns("ProjectName").Visible = True

            e.ColumnSet.NodeTextColumn = e.ColumnSet.Columns("ProjectName")
        End If
    End Sub
#End Region

Any luck with the files?

Thanks, I have added the file  now.
